    CK, if you do some forum searching you'll find a lot of us have gone through this with our partners/wives/whatevers. See for example these two threads (1) (2), which offer some advice, and will at least make you feel less alone.

    Wearing a kilt casually (and in many places even formally) is outside the current norm, and it seems there's bound to be some resistance more oft than not. Give her time and pick your battles.

    Best regards,

    Jake

    My wife wasn't terribly thrilled with the idea of my kilt wearing in the beginning. After awhile she started to realize that it wasn't the end of the world, and now she is shocked if I grab a pair of jeans instead of a kilt.

    If your financee needs to see kilts being worn as "everyday" clothing, perhaps we should set up a get-toether at a pub or something. I wear mine all the time. She and my wife could discuss the idea as well. Might help!
